It’s hard to believe that two months have passed since our last post.
During this fleeting time, I’ve sensed a tangible energy in the air, as if 2024 is gaining momentum and prompting me to reflect on what I’ve truly been engaged in.
If you’ve ever felt adrift, know that you’re not alone—I’m navigating this haze alongside you.
This year, while working on LOVE BY THE MOON, I feel as though I’ve strayed from my life’s path. Right now, I resemble Alice in Wonderland, taking careful steps forward but uncertain of what lies ahead.
Nonetheless, I can sense a gentle guidance, as if an unseen force is quietly clearing the way for me.
Reflecting on the past year, I realize I’ve accomplished a lot at work, including the launch of our birthflower jewelry collection, the introduction of our solid gold jewelry series, and the rollout of our permanent jewelry service, in addition to hosting several successful VIP events.
However, even with a busy agenda, there’s an underlying emptiness in my heart. After each event, rather than feeling uplifted, I often find myself grappling with an unsettling sense of disappointment. I’ve poured my heart into my work; design is my true passion, yet this year, it feels more like I’m simply trying to 'check off a to-do list.'
As the countdown to 2024 begins, I become increasingly aware that I’ve gradually overlooked the subtle, beautiful moments in life. Precious time spent with family and friends has become all too rare.
People often learn to cherish the present only after experiencing loss.
This year also marks the beginning of my thirties, with changes washing over me like a tide: friends are starting families, some are choosing to emigrate, and some older relatives have passed away due to health issues.
The various transitions of this year feel as if they are guiding me by fate.
I remember a day I spent with a friend playing oracle cards, and the card reader said:
'When you seek guidance and answers, the universe has already quietly arranged everything for you. Trust these arrangements; all the changes happening around you will become life lessons, paving the way for your future.'
I admit that this year, I’ve struggled with self-doubt. As I look toward 2025, I hope to rebuild my confidence, slow down, and thoughtfully plan the future direction of both my life and LOVE BY THE MOON.
This is not just a deep reflection on work, but a re-examination of life itself. I look forward to rediscovering my original passion in the new year and relearning the joy of creation. I also hope to share the journey I’ve embarked on with all of you in the next chapter.
